Description

Set at the end of a private cul-de-sac in gated Makalei Estates, this single-level 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence with a dedicated office rests on 3.13 fully fenced acres transformed into a private garden estate. Terraced lawns, handcrafted rock walls, tropical landscaping, and elevated gathering spaces unfold across the property, all oriented toward the North Kona coastline and sunset. Built in 2014 with exceptional craftsmanship, the home features vaulted wood ceilings, Venetian plaster walls, travertine flooring, Brazilian teak bedroom floors, custom mahogany cabinetry and pocket doors, a Bahama granite island, and a wood-burning fireplace. The layout includes two primary suites, a guest suite, dedicated office, indoor laundry, and a finished two-car garage with its own bath and second laundry area. Automated Hunter Douglas blackout shades were added to both primary suites. Wide pocket doors connect the great room to the covered lanai and outdoor living area, where a relaxing freestanding fire feature frames ocean and sunset views, while a large koi pond with waterfall creates a serene garden entry on the opposite side. The grounds are the true centerpiece. Extensive terracing and stonework have created usable lawns, pathways, gardens, and gathering areas throughout the acreage. At the upper portion, a custom open-air hale on a Fiberon composite deck captures sweeping coastline views, with a second fire pit nearby. The established edible landscape includes avocado, citrus, mango, lychee, longan, breadfruit, fig, banana, papaya, white pineapple, mountain apple, and more. A custom work shed with ohia posts, power, water, lighting, and a built-in workbench supports the property, while a lower concrete pad is ready for a future spa. A private automatic gate, hardwired & solar landscape lighting, security cameras, upgraded irrigation controls, and a remote-operated UV-blocking lanai shade complete this distinctive Makalei estate.
